Purpose |
How
do you
reach your real audience? |
Try to please all
birth parents, and you will end up with a lackluster profile that
appeals to no one. This unit helps you zero in on your real
audience, that is, those birth parents most likely to choose you.
|
| What
can you do to make every word count? |
A well-written
profile says a lot in a small amount of space. This unit
offers valuable tips for choosing and arranging your words wisely.
|
| Why
use anecdotes? |
Anecdotes are short
accounts of interesting and sometimes humorous incidents.
Used properly, anecdotes can enhance your message. This unit helps you
recognize the ones that will best serve your interests. |
| How
do you begin? |
A strong opening
encourages birth parents to keep on reading. It also makes you
memorable. This unit explores ways to attract attention from the
start. |
| What
about pictures? |
A picture may be
worth a thousand words, but ensuring it says the right thousand
words can be challenging. This unit describes how to select
and make the most of photographs and other images. |
|
| |
| This workshop is available to
agencies as an onsite MS PowerPoint
presentation. Price varies according to location. Individual
families may take the workshop in person or over the telephone for $150.
Exercises are sent in advance. Please e-mail
for more information. |
